Line 3:
** If you were going to pose for a statue that potentially hundreds of people would see for the next 12 hours, wouldn't you strike the most impressive pose possible? And if you could get a do-over every 24 hours, why not do it better?
** Plus, they have an interest in maintaining their camouflage, and preserving a threatening image.
* According to director Brad Bird, The Incredibles was built to be a combination of "the mundane and the fantastic". It indeed did its job well
* Various characters in ''[[Invader Zim]]'' made frequent use of the trope, in conjunction with stylized expressions and loud vocalizations. The very first instance would have to be:
{{quote|'''Professor Membrane''': Quiet, son! I'm making ''(large field of electricity crackles)''... toast!}}
Line 25:
** '''[[Memetic Mutation|"CHOCOLATE?! CHOCOLATE!!!!"]]'''
** The show for many fans.
* ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Good Times With Weapons". The boys playing around with weapons is turned awesome with an [[Art Shift]] and the use of [[
** The episode "D-Yikes!," a parody of ''[[300|Three Hundred]] 300'', features [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67KXHqNNJks Mrs. Garrison making coffee].
*** In that same episode, an unknown lesbian character takes a potato chip... [[Death Note|and '''eats''' it.]]
Line 66:
* In ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'', a huge monstrous ogre-type tries to defeat Captain K'nuckles in a poker game with, as he puts it: "Pair of... TWOOOOOOOOOOSS!!" (He loses, naturally).
** With a pair of threes no less.
* ''[[Fillmore!]]'' was ''built'' on this trope. Middle school is [[Serious Business]]!
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' practically ''runs'' on this trope. For example, the episode "Tip of the Day" ended with a crowd song about ''[[What the Heck Is An Aglet?|aglets]]'' (you know, those plastic things on the ends of a shoelace ([[Justice League (animation)|their true purpose is sinister]])).
** "Raging Bully": After accidentally causing Buford to drop Ice Cream on himself, Phineas is challenged to a duel, and the entire episode has them set up a boxing ring, going through a Rocky-style training montage... all for a thumb war! THE MOST EPIC THUMB WAR EVER, even with an overly excited commentator!
Line 95:
* The epic game of tag in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' movie.
** Moments in the series include the professor swallowing a pea, the townspeople saving the day by ripping open the packages of a collector, the girls eating broccoli, and Mojo breaking a loaf of bread over a robot's head.
* The second season premiere of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' gave us this line: [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** And before that, [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** "[[Shout-Out|With Celestia as my witness]] ''[[Gone with the Wind|I will never go sisterless again!]]''"
*** This is also a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] (Rarity vowing to make up with her baby sister) and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] (Rarity admitting she was wrong).
Line 111:
'''Dr. Weird''': You... tell me! *maniacal laughter* {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Oh, oh, WAIT!]] [[Played for Laughs|*bursts into flame*]]}} }}
* ''[[The Looney Tunes Show]]'' features [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PvJ1zBJ-us ''Daffy Duck: The Wizard''], a [[Heavy Mithril]] Power Ballad about Daffy doing incredibly mundane things like blowing up a hot dog in a microwave or crossing the street juxtaposed with the kind of stuff you'd expect from a Power Metal music video.
* In ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (animation)|How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'', a waiter arrives, bringing a covered dish, in which there's a ''smaller'' waiter with a smaller covered dish, and so on and so on, until the smallest opens his dish to reveal...an apple.
* ''[[Adventure Time]]'''s use of this trope is par for the course, but special mention must be made of '''SUPER ULTIMATE HIGH-FIVE GO!!!''' Finn and Jake decide that, as cool as their high-fives get, they can make them even better, and this eventually culminates in the two of them catapulting hands-first across a good chunk of the world. They're flying for most of the episode, and they finally connect, entirely by coincidence, over a talent competition which they promptly win because the stunt was just ''that cool''.
